The Bigfoot

Bigfoot, (also known as Big Foot and Sasquatch)

Bigfoot is described as a large, bipedal hairy humanoid creature living in remote wilderness areas of the United States and Canada, specifically those in southwestern Canada, the Great Lakes, the Pacific Northwest, the Rocky Mountains, the forests of the U.S. Northeast, and the U.S. Southern states.

Some claim it is a creature which may be found around the world under different regional names, such as the Yeti,

Sightings have allegedly occurred in Malaysia, China, Russia, Australia, South America and Hawaii.

The majority of scientists rejects the possibility of the creature’s existence, and considers the stories of Bigfoot to be a combination of unsubstantiated folklore and hoax.

Descriptions are widely divergent; enormous human-like footprints attributed to this creature gave rise to the name "Bigfoot".

Individuals generally describe a 7 to 10 feet (2 to 3 meter) tall, ape- or human-like bipedal creature, broad-shouldered and of a strong build.

All the creature's body, the face, the palms of the hands, and the soles of the feet is covered with short shaggy fur that is usually black or dark brown.

The footprint is one of the most impressive pieces of evidence. The tracks measure 33 centimeters.

Most alleged sightings have been at night. These creatures, if they exist, could be nocturnal.

According to Bigfoot researcher and anthropologist, the Bigfoot could be  omnivorous. It is probably mainly a vegetarian.

The Chupacabras

THE CHUPACABRA PHENOMENON

The chupacabra (or chupacabras) is a creature. People have been seen this mysterious creature to inhabit parts of the Americas. It is associated particularly with Puerto Rico (where it was first reported), Mexico, and the United States, especially in the latter's Latin American communities.

The name translates literally from Spanish as "goat-sucker."

This creature attacks and drinks the blood of livestock.

Physical descriptions of the creature vary.

Sightings began in Puerto Rico in the early 1990s

HISTORY

The legend of the chupacabra began in about 1992, when Puerto Rican newspapers “El Vocero” and “El Nuevo Día” began reporting the killings of many different types of animals, such as birds, horses, and as its name implies, goats.

The killings had one pattern in common: each of the animals found dead had two punctured holes around their necks.

Soon after the animal deaths in Puerto Rico, other animal deaths were reported in other countries, such as the Dominican Republic, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Panama, Peru, Brazil, the United States and, most notably, Mexico.

NORTH OF CHILE

Many residents believe that the Chupacabras is the result of some diabolical genetic experiments gone awry (fracasó) by NASA, or some other U.S. agency.

Residents of Calama and nearby communities continued to blame NASA for the apparitions and attacks of the mysterious Chupacabras.

By the other hand, in Antofagasta one person says the Chupacabra had virtually destroyed his car by making deep scratches in it with its claws. And it killed the cat. But The Chupacabras is still a mysterious creature that only a few people have seen until now.

The Quintrala

 La Quintrala

The Quintrala is a colonial historical figure, who supposedly had pacts with the devil.

In 1662, Catalina de Los Ríos y Lisperguer was born in Cabildo near La Ligua, Chile. She was a very beautiful woman but very sadistic murderer who want only tortured slaves and servants.

Doña Catalina de los Ríos y Lisperguer owned this place under a patronage mandate. This 17th century aristocrat lady was best known as La Quintrala. 

She was constantly accused of committing murder and flagellation against her slaves. After she had died, a thousand masses were celebrated just as she ordered in her last hours. 

Her mortal remains lie buried in San Agustín Church, in Santiago, next to Cristo de Mayo image. She had had this image taken out of her house because she did not wanted to see "men with unfriendly faces" in her house

The Trauco

The Trauco

In the traditional Chilota mythology of Chiloé, the Trauco is a humanoid creature of small stature - similar to a dwarf or goblin - who lives in the deep forests. It has an ugly face, and legs without feet.

Legend:

The Trauco is a mythical entity who inhabits the woods of Chiloé, an island in the south of Chile. It has a powerful magnetism that attracts young and middle-aged women. According to myth, the Trauco's wife is the wicked and ugly Fiura. The trauco carries a small stone-headed hatchet that he uses to strike trees in the forest to symbolize his sexual potency.

Whoever the Trauco chooses will go to him, even if she is sleeping, and fall enraptured at his feet. No woman can resist his magical attraction; all have sexual intercouse with him. Men of Chiloé fear the Trauco, as his gaze can be deadly.

When a single woman is pregnant and no one steps forward as the father, people assume that the Trauco is the father. Because the Trauco is irresistible, the woman is considered blameless. The Trauco is sometimes invoked to explain sudden or unwanted pregnancies, especially in unm

arried women.
